Non-slip bath coating for Norwich homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Norwich

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Norwich?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Norwich clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Common problems we fix in Norwich

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Norwich

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Norwich, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Norwich

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

  • Resurfaced baths

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price
